In case it helps: I just got an update for "Microsoft UEFI CA" on my computer running Fedora KDE 42, from "Firmware Updates (lvfs)". Check your software centre.

That was 5 years ago. Make him take the test again

I keep reading this complaint every time FairPhone releases a new model, and it's nonsense. The millions of people who didn't buy a FairPhone 5 in the last 2 years are not going to buy a 2 year old model when they need a new phone in 2 months.

You bought a FairPhone 5 or 4 in the last 4 years? Keep it and don't buy a FairPhone 6, you don't need it.

You didn't buy a FairPhone and your current phone is dying? Then you have a modern FairPhone and don't need to decide between a FairPhone with old specs or an up-to-date phone that is not repairable.

39 is not a prime number

Absolutely! Take care of your earth! But you don't need to fine people for a loitering crime they haven't committed. Not all bottles have Pfand in Germany: soft drinks? Yes, juice? No, beer? Yes, wine? No. It's a hypocritical bullshit system.

[–] nshibj@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, it's not: it's a fine you pay because it's assumed you'll litter some bottles: not all bottles have Pfand, which is nonsense: soda yes, juice not.

And the number of bottles lying around? Germans come back from Spain praising how clean the streets are and Spain has no Pfand system. That's just not true.

Nah. Fuck the Pfand system. I don't like being fined for a crime I haven't committed (not recycling the bottle) with the excuse of "you'll get your fine back when you return the bottle"

Nah, in Germany you're not paid for cleaning anything. You aren't getting any money: you are fined 25 cents (for some glass bottles it's 15, for some 8) when you buy the drink in case you don't recycle. You might get that money back if you bring the bottle back to the supermarket, they accept it, and the return machine is working at the time. It's a scam.

The country overnight decided...

Your country was changing...

you do realise you're on the World Wide Web, right? Please stop acting like there's only one country in the world, and that's the omnipotent, wonderful USA. That's what the message you're replying to refers to: 9/11 was important for the USA, but the world is much bigger.

 

TL,DR: beginner tries to set up NextCloud via docker components without having a domain. Trying to access via IP doesn’t work. Probably made a few mistakes/missed some important stuff along the way

Hi everyone,

I am completely new to self hosting. Like many others I want to move away from Google, Apple, Microsoft... for my Calendar, Tasks and Contacts, and I thought I would try self hosting all that in NextCloud. I have already tried a 3rd-party hosted NextCloud instance and I feel comfortable with it, so now I want to do the next step and host it myself on a RaspBerry Pi 4 (4GB) that I recently purchased.

I have read around and searched for tutorials, and although I am still a bit lost I decided I would start working on it and see what problems I find along the way, and learn from this. Once I’m done I hope to have learned properly, and I plan to wipe everything and do it again, this time knowing better what I’m doing.

So, to begin with I decided to do it using Docker Compose, as I’ve read it makes setup and troubleshooting easier. I found 2 tutorials that looked good to me: tutorial 1 and tutorial 2, but going through them I see the most frequent case they require that I have my own domain (tutorial 1 has only that option, tutorial 2 offers that option or using an IP address). Do I need to have my own domain to have NextCloud calendar, tasks and contacts shared between my computer and my smartphone? If both options are possible, is one of them more secure than the other? is there some strong reason to avoid one of them?

Since I don’t have a domain (I’m completely new to this), I opted to try tutorial 2 with IP address, but I got stuck in the end, where I am supposed to access my NextCloud Web Interface. Tutorial 2 suggests getting my Raspberry Pi IP address with hostname -I (step 17), but this way I get five different IP addresses (4 IPv4 and one IPv6), not just one. When I try any of those IPs on a browser (step 18) none of them work. I guess I am missing something basic here, so I’d be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction.

Searching for an answer I found a comment on reddit saying that I can skip getting a domain and host locally (no domain) and set up a VPN.

Would it be necessary in my case to get a domain? If I skip the domain, what steps am I missing to be able to access my current NextCloud docker installation? What mistakes have I made so far, and what resources can I use to learn about what I’m missing? Do you have any other tips for an absolute beginner (who is comfortable around the linux command line)?
